You need the C2500 outer tie rods and the adjusters plus a set of inner tie rods from an Astro van. Moog part 2020RL.

They even fit inside my 15" Cragar Soft-8 wheels.

What I'm reading is two different methods of swapping to 6-lug discs. If he already has an 82 donor w/the 73-87 parts, why go through the trouble of sourcing the required parts for the post 88 lt-duty 2500 style swap when all he needs is the correct rotor to use w/what he already has?

CPP sells a 6-lug rotor that is a direct swap w/parts he already has.
